The Gateway School, New York | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

Went here from 5-8 grade it was alright. the teachers were alright but more than half of the teachers had left the school by the time i did. Furthermore I do feel that the curriculum does not prepare kids for general education i was the only kid in my grade to go to a public high school. We were taught at a very slow pace and the teachers did not know how to get the kids to behave so a lot of days were wasted. Also the lower grades were full of entitled rich kids who would throw a tantrum whenever they did not get what they wanted. The principle had many events to try have some fun but those were futile attempts at trying to get the kids to like going to school at gateway (none of the kids liked it). Additionally the teachers are paid almost nothing for a private school in NYC and that’s with the school asking for donations from all the parents constantly. Overall from my experience at The Gateway school it was a poorly run school that barely taught or prepared me or my peers for high school and beyond. Ps. if my grammar or spelling is bad that’s just another testament to how little kids with get out of this school.

My time at the gateway school was more or less one of the worst experiences in my life. I loved all the teachers and friends I met there however, the administrators did not know how to handle people with emotional issues. (I’m bipolar) and so they always made us feel like we were doing something wrong. Not only did they tell all the high schools I applied to that I was emotionally unstable (which is absolutely not true) but because of them I was forced to attend a high school where all the kids were “recovering drug addicts”.

If you have a child with emotional issues then this school is NOT for you.
